SENSES AND FASHION - INSPIRATION

“Fashion is about bodies; it is produced,
promoted and worn by bodies. It is the body that fashion speaks to and it is
the body that must be addressed in almost all social encounters” (Entwistle, 2000).

·“With aging, sensations may be reduced or
changed. These changes can occur because of decreased blood flow to the nerve
endings or to the spinal cord or brain. The spinal cord transmits nerve signals
and the brain interprets these signals.” Pen State Hershey

“Sensation is fundamental to our experience of
the world. Shaped by culture, gender, and class, the senses mediate between
mind and the body, idea and object, self and environment.” - The Senses and
Society

"Fashion in the context of art makes sense as an
evolving form which offers ongoing exploration in understanding the self and in
helping me to create connections with others through shared experience." – Jo
Cope

"The senses are one of the things that make us
more sensitive as human beings, connecting us to experiences in an intimate
way. The sense of the self and the relationship and development of the inner
being and how that might be projected outwardly is explored in some of my work." – Jo Cope

"Does fashion make sense if the quality of the
products is low, the labor conditions are poor and it harms the environment
terribly? The psychology behind fashion has become less about quality or
durability and more about being fast, cheap and easy to replace." – SHI[R]T.

·"It is inevitable to think of the human body, in
any aspect of fashion, without the relation to the senses. They are meant to be
provoked, teased and challenged to a game that will result in pure pleasure." –
LUDUS

·"Clothing is in a close relation to the human
body because of its tangibility. Body feels the fabric and decides whether it
will accept it or not. When they match, they become one. Clothing and fabrics
shape the body reacting differently on each person. Clothing serves the body's
appearance and also helps a person to express themselves." – NIKA TOM

·“Clothing, as an extension of the skin, can be
seen both as a heat-control mechanism and a means of defining the self
socially.” - Marshall McLuhan
